What the hell they talking about? Digital ownership is amazing. I can stream all my content from my server and keep it forever as long as I backup regularly. What sucks is buying shit digitally because then you don't own it at all
Yeah they’re not talking about ownership here. They’re talking about custodial “ownership”. Like when you buy bitcoin and keep in on an exchange - you down actually own it.
Some people think if you buy a movie from Sony or any other online only marketplace you actually own it….
It's a "permanent" rental, Until something like this happens.
It’s not even a rental. It’s “permission” to stream anytime anywhere or possibly store a cached copy until the company changes its mind or ceases to exist.
I think "licensing" is the correct word here, instead of "ownership".
The users in question don't "own" anything, they merely "license" it.
